Help, I'm trapped in a xcom long war campaign
"I've never seen anything like it" says Dan Doonerson, top analyst and co-founder of the Democratic Institute of Misinformation.
"There' really no words for how brazen it all is" an exasperated Doonerson said. "Somehow, this got by us and allowed the election to go off the rails and, frankly, it's a failure of my entire industry allowing this to slip by."
Lemmy, the "federated" website collective Donnerson specializes in, was founded in 2019 by Dessalines, a shadowy figure in the already shady dark web world. While the site claims to be free and open-source, many have called the source of its funding into question as well as the national origins of its development team.
Shortly before the beginning of the U.S. election season, lemmy experienced a surge in popularity, the cause of which is not known for certain. Many, including analysts at Doonerson's organization, have reason to believe Russian meddling in popular American social media websites, especially reddit, led to the spike in interest.
"This seems to reflect a recent trend in the media consumption habits of Americans and its hard to believe the timing isn't suspect" says Doonerson. "However, while more right wing populists have sought an escape from 'woke media', lemmy seems to cater to an extremist embrace of liberal woke politics and its hard to find the differences in the results."
Doonerson and the Democratic Institute for Disinformation began ringing the alarm bells on Lemmy in late 2023. Donnerson claims misinformation and election interference operations were already well on their way by that time; "By then it was already too late and many still wouldn't listen".
"The center of Lemmy's operations is a central collective of a few separate communities with similar content and intentions, namely 'comms' located on Hexbear, the area of lemmy with the most activity."
Hexbear, an oddly named site federated with the Lemmy collective, is a extremist far-left site with similarly opaque command structures and moderation policies. As the most active instance, it's most active comms quickly became of interest to Doonerson.
"We've noticed a large amount of irregular activity on comms such as 'the dunk tank', 'the dredge tank', and of course 'fake news'. It's dumbfounding they were able to get away with this for so long and, as many suspect, it goes much deeper than we thought".
However, Doonerson states, the Democratic Institute for Misinformation has made many efforts recently to curtail the spread and influence of these instances in order to bring democratic values back to the forefront of progressive politics. "Obviously we can't say much, but we've found many effective methods for controlling the site culture and steering many would be extremists and unwitting propagandists back into the fold of society".
Solidified copium put into a pipe and smoked. There's no world where he loses Texas and Florida.
You know what, sure, go ahead and die right now and I'll put whatever you want on your gravestone. Trust me, I promise.
For some reason, I thought this movie was based on or influenced by an Ayn Rand novel (foundationhead maybe?), and I was about to say something like "guess they didn't learn their lesson since their attempt to make Atlas Shrugged a movie".
Is it any good?
This doesn't work as an analogy, he was already "tossed in the trash". We're carefully considering taking him back out of the trash if anything.
When in Rome, make excuses for homosexuality like the Romans do
Kamalacaust, that's a good one. Finally, some good competition with "Kill em all" Kamala/Killemalla
This unlocked a memory of my father driving through neighborhoods with my brother and I looking for political signs he didn't like (don't remember for who, but he's a right wing shitbag, so take a guess) and telling us to run into their yard and take them. My brother got chased off by one of them and thinking back on it, that was incredibly dangerous, cowardly, and pathetic of him (my dad, mostly) to do. Who gives a shit about dumbass yard signs. Fucking hate that guy
Being tossed out a high rise window is Putin's signature move.
I thought it was grenade mishaps mid-flight 
But have you heard Not Like Us?
(Euphoria was the best song in the Drake diss saga and it's not even close, but Not Like Us is the one dems played to death)
Just cause the libs taint trends in music and pop culture like this doesn't mean it's bad. That said, I liked the first song on Brat, but the rest of the album wasn't my thing.
Cum squads are gonna be pulling an all-nighter
Big march for the October 7th anniversary in Tokyo today (made more sense to do it on a weekend) turnout was slightly lower because of the rain, but more than expected still. Ran into a few raging zionists out on their vacations, but mostly positive responses (or just apathetic ones ig).
Ive had it up to here, here's another 60 gorjillian dollars, take it and think about what you've done
I took one class in college and didn't end up really liking Russian - didn't know it was a gendered language beforehand and I really dislike that, mostly because I'm lazy. Before taking the class, Russian cursive seemed absolutely illegible, but I got pretty good at reading and writing it afterwards.
However, I always thought it was weird we were only allowed to write in cursive in the class, where in English or other languages it's more of stylistic option. Our teacher told us everyone wrote like that and it was considered childish to write block letters instead, but she also told us everyone should read Gulag Archipelgo and that Solzhenitsyn was a great author. Was she right about the writing in cursive part though?
(Don't think this is appropriate for language learning since I'm not really asking for the sake of learning the language, so I posted in chat instead)
BBC reports on WTC 7 falling before it actually falls - mistake in reporting or not, it continues to serve as titillation for the conspiracy brain.
I actually remember being woken up from a nap by a loud explosion sound and then hearing the news about this the next day when I was living in East Texas as a kid.
Huh, til this mission had the first 'Israeli' astronaut, sucks to suck.
>Evander Holyfield vs. Mike Tyson II, billed as The Sound and the Fury and afterwards infamously referred to as The Bite Fight, was a professional boxing match contested between Evander Holyfield and Mike Tyson on June 28, 1997, for the WBA Heavyweight Championship. It achieved notoriety as one of the most bizarre fights in boxing history after Tyson bit off a part of Holyfield's ear. Tyson was disqualified from the match and lost his boxing license, though it was later reinstated.
>The match began with Holyfield dominating Tyson. Holyfield won the first three rounds. At 2:19 of the first round, an overhand right punch from Holyfield stunned Tyson, but Tyson fought back, immediately pushing Holyfield backwards. At 32 seconds into the second round, Holyfield ducked under a right punch from Tyson. In doing so, he head-butted Tyson, producing a large cut over the latter's right eye (although trainer Ritchie Giachetti believed the injury happened in the first round). Tyson had repeatedly complained about head-butting in the first bout between the two fighters. Upon reviewing replays, referee Mills Lane stated that the headbutts were unintentional and non-punishable.
>As the third round was about to begin, Tyson came out of his corner without his mouthpiece. Lane ordered Tyson back to his corner to insert it. Tyson inserted his mouthpiece, got back into position, and the match resumed. Tyson began the third round with a furious attack. With forty seconds remaining in the round, Holyfield got Tyson in a clinch, and Tyson rolled his head above Holyfield's shoulder and bit Holyfield on his right ear. A one-inch piece of cartilage was torn from the top of Holyfield’s ear, which Tyson spat out onto the ring apron.
>On 14 December 2008, Iraqi journalist Muntadhar al-Zaidi removed his shoes and threw them at United States president George W. Bush during a joint press conference with Iraqi prime minister Nouri al-Maliki in Baghdad, Iraq. Bush quickly ducked, avoiding being hit by either of the shoes. The second shoe collided with a U.S. flag positioned behind Bush. Al-Zaidi was subsequently grabbed, kicked, and removed from the room by security.
>Al-Zaidi received a three-year prison sentence, which was reduced by two years. On 15 September 2009, after nine months of imprisonment, he was released early as he had no prior criminal record.
>There have since been many other shoe-throwing incidents on an international scale.
>In March 2003, the American country band the Dixie Chicks publicly criticized President George W. Bush, triggering a backlash. At a concert in London during their Top of the World Tour, the lead singer, Natalie Maines, said the Dixie Chicks were ashamed Bush was from the same state as them, and that they did not support the imminent invasion of Iraq.
>The Dixie Chicks were one of the most popular American country acts at the time. After the statement was reported by the British newspaper The Guardian, it triggered a backlash from American country listeners, who were mostly right-wing and supported the war. The Dixie Chicks were blacklisted by many country radio stations, received death threats and were criticized by other country musicians. Sales of their music and concert tickets declined and they lost corporate sponsorship. A few days later, Maines issued an apology, saying her remark had been disrespectful. She rescinded the apology in 2006, saying she felt Bush deserved no respect.

>On January 19, 2004, Dean's rivals John Kerry and John Edwards pushed him into a third-place finish in the 2004 Iowa Democratic caucuses, representing the first votes cast in primary season. Dean's loud outburst in his public address that night was widely rebroadcast and portrayed as a media gaffe that ended his campaign.
>In January 1992, Farrow found nude photographs of Previn in Allen's home. Allen, then 56, told Farrow that he had taken the photos the day before, approximately two weeks after he and Previn first had sex. Farrow contends that she broke off her relationship with Allen in 1992 following her discovery of the affair. Previn and Allen dispute that, claiming that Allen and Farrow were no longer involved when Farrow discovered the photos.
>Previn graduated from high school and began college in 1991. According to the birthdate the Seoul Family Court assigned her, she turned 21 in October 1991. The judicial investigation during the custody trial between Farrow and Allen concluded that Allen's and Previn's sexual relationship began in December 1991. Mia Farrow's friends have said it might have started in the spring or summer of 1991, before Soon-Yi turned 21.
>Previn and Allen married in Venice on December 22, 1997; she was 27 and he was 62.
Here's the current leaderboard, Squishvegan is their name (and #2 in the world is their alt lol). If you go to their profile, they have links to dominion and other vegan resources.
Idk why I'm making a post about it, just thought it was really cool. Most people I run into in any game start acting weird if you even hint that you're vegan and this person is just yelling from the rooftops about it.
How fucking stupid, why the hell did I buy this shit. Had it uninstalled after like 2 hours of play assuming I'd come back to it some time later when it was in better shape, fuck me I guess. Additionally, the fucking game is STILL available to buy on steam, STILL overpriced as fuck, even with no active development (which is the whole justification for the price tag in early access).
Just really enjoyed KSP1 and had hopes KSP2 would be more fun stuff, but nope.
